If it is just me and one other person, how many tomato plants do I need to can sauce and make salsa for the winter?

Nice garden you have there :-)

That spot on the tomato is called "blossom end rot". Google it or look up wikipedia, you'll find some pretty simple solutions to this problem. It is not worms.

What did you use to build your support frames (the interconnected hoops)? They look very sturdy & uniform, and I'd love to try and mimic them for my beds

So much success and not using "combination planting"? No marigolds, petunias, basil, rosemary or other herbs? Do you use pesticides to get rid of bugs and fertilizer to grow stronger plants. Just curious.

@littlepiaf No I didn't use pesticides. I had trouble with squash bugs killing off my plants but I'd gotten enough squash by the time that happened. I use composted manure as fertilizer and grow my own plants from seed so I think that cuts back on disease and unhealthy plants. I am learning more about combination planting. I learn something new every year.

Those small ones in the shells look like tomatillos.

WONDERFUL GARDEN!!!

Looks good lady. Heirlooms are the way to go, yeah.

Really nice garden, I noticed the hoop supports in earlier vids, did you use those for cold weather protection covered in plastic?? Some supports look bent over and taped to the middle support but others seems to have a 45 degree elbow and then taped. Could you go over this in a new video to help people with making a cold frame? Also, what types of fertilizer are you using, plants seem to love it. Thanks

Wow! Everything is looking real nice. Great that you are canning some of those goodies...I'm gonna learn how to do that one of these days! Keep up the great work! -George Rye, NY

You have a fantastic garden! This is my first year growing anything and I'm doing everything in containers, but next year I plan to do a raised bed garden. I hope I'm half as successful as you appear. You have a new subscriber!

Great to see the growth in so short a time.

You mention "Canning", presumably that is "bottling" as we say in the UK.

[KristieSue]

Yes it is bottling I don't know why call it canning when we're using bottles... :)
